I flew coach 14hrs from JFK-Seoul last week for 50% pay. Worst experience of my life...

We voted for it ... it's our own fault (if you voted yes, find a mirror and ask yourself why you did that). Now Management can say, "You guys said you'd vote for anything that had a 10% pay raise!" Even they couldn't believe it!*?

Happy Holidays everyone!

I agree with you completely,...

So what contract language would have fixed this. If a higher class of service is not available the company must pull a Concorde out of the boneyard? We have specific language that guarantees the company will book you in a higher class of service or reimburse your bank at the higher rate. Not sure how we could improve that language.

BTW, no airline has "lie-flat seats" to or from ANC. It is all domestic first recliner style.
Obviously they should just cancel the trip until they can fly the pilot up there first class. I mean seriously, people are calling that a "hole" in the contract? But you're right Busboy, people like me are why we will never get a real contract.

It was a scheduled flight. He didn't deviate. They built it that way. Perhaps they should be required to build trips that have actual seats available in the class of service that the CBA requires, kind of. This isn't rocket surgery. If the deadhead flight they want to build into the trip doesn't have the proper seats...Find a different flight that does.

So maybe we should bid 4 months out when they build the pairings so that they can reserve us seats? That will make vacation bidding a little more challenging.

Yah...You're right. There's no way they could work around that. I'm sure it would cost too much, anyway.
